astroXP Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I came across with this Windows XP-like background in the WMWare Fusion site I really liked it a lot, so that's why I'd want to know if anyone out there knows this wallpaper or whether VMWare made it. I placed the official, default Windows XP wallpaper so you could compared the two. This is the original picture where I got the picture from: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951098-windows-xp-like-wallpaper-made-by-vmware/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoL Veteran Posted November 5, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 5, 2010 I don't think that's on the application. I installed Windows on VMware before and I didn't see that image anywhere.

Jhaedee Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Did anyone ever find this other than the incredibly expensive version at getty? I've seen a couple of screenshots of it being used on vmware fusion on mac osx tiger so i'm guessing it must have been in circulation at some point. Anyone have any leads?

NoneAvail Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Not that I endorse privacy or anything but with prices like that, I hope someone buys it and leaks it all over! :woot: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951098-windows-xp-like-wallpaper-made-by-vmware/#findComment-593443432 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stetson Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It's probably just some image that they purchased to substitute for the default Windows XP wallpaper in their product shots / screenshots. I doubt that they would post it anywhere since they probably paid fairly decent money to use it in their marketing stuff.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 1, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2010 It's not the picture, but it looks nice. It's probably just some image that they purchased to substitute for the default Windows XP wallpaper in their product shots / screenshots. I doubt that they would post it anywhere since they probably paid fairly decent money to use it in their marketing stuff. Yes, that's what was found out before (It's from Getty and they charge a lot) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951098-windows-xp-like-wallpaper-made-by-vmware/#findComment-593445442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
astroXP Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well, at least I'm not the only one who would go crazy for this wallpaper!

Teebor Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not that I endorse privacy or anything but with prices like that, I hope someone buys it and leaks it all over! :woot: Are you sure you don't endorse that, seems kind of important in this day and age? There is no financial benefit to someone buying it and then giving it away for free, so piracy is unlikely to happen here Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/951098-windows-xp-like-wallpaper-made-by-vmware/#findComment-593566656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
